| The rapid development of higher
and higher performance microprocessors like the
Pentium® Pro processor, and the development of
multiprocessor systems, have placed more
processing power than ever before in the server.
Unfortunately, the weak link in today’s
server design is balanced I/O. To help you get
the best performance out of Pentium Pro
processor-based servers, consider the Intel I/O
Solution. Using a dedicated I/O processor, the i960® RP I/O processor, and widely accepted industry initiatives like PCI and I2O, the Intel I/O Solution offloads certain I/O operations from the host processor, allowing it to use more of its power on complex calculations and transaction processing. There are numerous reasons for the development of the Intel I/O solution, but one in particular stands out. Networked computers are replacing stand-alone PCs and mainframe computers, and are becoming more and more responsible for mission-critical enterprise applications. Here you’ll find a collection of information that will help you gain an understanding of the Intel I/O Solution, and why you’ll want to look for server and adapter card products taking advantage of this technology beginning in the fourth quarter of 1996. |
